I think everybody has a tendency to worship, so to speak, their political ideology, and that is usually a problem, but I try not to do it. Nationalism is a necessary part of Human nature because otherwise borders and countries wouldn't exist.
I've met Marxists and liberals who were super close minded, and I have a far-right friend who is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I've discussed things with fascists, racists, commies, liberals, conservatives, anarchists, etc - I've reached the conclusion that the more I talk to people and the more I know, the more confused I am and the less answers I end up finding.
No there were humans long before our artificial labels we call nations and boarders. What unfortunately makes them essential is because we don't use our brains and far too often default to beating the shit out of each other because that is easier than accepting that we are older than our nations and boarders. See Sagan's Pale Blue dot speech.
